This is how black technology should be used

Chapter 236 The Toilet Blows Up
"Houston, we're in trouble!"

In fact, when the alarm sounded in the cabin of the Orion spacecraft, the mission center on the Houston side also sounded the alarm at the same time.

"Eagle, what happened?"

"It's a smoke alarm, and we smell burnt rubber!"

Because they left the earth's orbit, the three astronauts who can basically be judged as safe have already taken off their space suits in the cabin and put on space suits, so they can smell the smell.

When they first entered the earth's orbit, they must be tightly wrapped by the space suits in the cabin, and it would take a lot of effort to find out exactly what it is.

Soon, they followed the smell to find the source, and after removing a decorative panel, they found a charred wire.

Short circuit!
Thanks to the very high safety redundancy of the Orion spacecraft, after this line was short-circuited, the auxiliary program immediately activated the backup line and activated the smoke alarm to notify them.

And they are now in the orbit of flying to the moon, the engine is turned off, and they are always in a state of coasting, and there is nothing wrong with a small incident.

As long as the engine doesn't start suddenly and take them somewhere else, it's fine.

Still, they removed the charred wire and replaced it with a new one.

Although the safety redundancy of the Orion spacecraft is very high, there are three wires like this one, as long as there is a problem with one of them, the auxiliary management program will immediately switch the wires.

But it should be changed or have to be changed. What if, what if something happens again, especially if the remaining two have something wrong at the same time?
They didn't think about these things before, but now that something happened, they couldn't help being careless.

After repairing, the three astronauts looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little nervous about the trip around the moon.

I encountered this kind of problem at the beginning of the whole journey, what should I do next?
They expressed their concerns to the mission center, but after analysis, the mission center said that these are normal phenomena, even if the wire is not replaced, it will be fine, and the redundant design of the spacecraft ensures safety.

So the mission continues as usual.

At the same time, psychological experts were assigned to communicate with them to strengthen their psychological construction, and said that His Excellency the Commander is always paying attention to the situation, so that they can rest assured.

In addition, because there will be a live broadcast event later, they are told not to talk nonsense, it is normal, very happy, and very proud to ask.

The command center has said so, so they can only pray that there will be no more accidents later.

It's a pity that their prayers didn't work. After leaving the earth, their gods seem to have a bad signal.

It took a total of 3 days to fly to the moon, and during these 3 days they were not at all safe.

There will be a small problem here for a while, and there will be a small problem there for a while, and I will be suddenly awakened by the alarm when I am sleeping.

While none of these problems are life-threatening, they can be psychic.

Especially when the toilet was broken in the middle of flying to the moon, they followed the instructions of the ground engineers to repair it bit by bit, but they didn't fix it until they entered the lunar orbit.

However, after the meeting on the ground and the personal inquiry of the commander, it was decided to let them continue the mission.

Because the toilet is broken, it will not threaten their safety, at most it will reduce the living environment to the level of the Apollo spacecraft decades ago.

The spaceships of the Apollo missions did not have toilets, so if you want convenience, use a space excretion bag!
literal meaning.

When excreting, it goes directly into the bag.

Because there are female astronauts this time, they also specially designed female excretion bags.

I didn't expect it to come in handy.

I didn't expect to be able to use it when I loaded it. The reason why I installed it was just to achieve the safety redundancy index, but I didn't expect it to be used.

I don't know whether to be lucky or sad.

However, although the problem of going to the toilet has been solved, don't worry about the air in the spaceship.

Needless to say, the astronauts must have stunk when the spacecraft came back.

Whenever they are about to collapse, they will think of the encouragement given to them by the commander.

"Actually, you guys are already very good. At least you have an excretion bag to use. Do you know what my nickname is given to me by the outside world? It's 'rare sect', just because I will excrete at any time... You know, so I won't say it, I just hope you guys can hang on."

And the words of the space agency.

"This is the meaning of the test flight. You are all elites, the elites we have spent a lot of effort to cultivate, and the spaceship you are riding on is also the essence of the Federation's technology."

"Before you fly in it, we have conducted countless inspections on it, there are countless simulations, and there was an unmanned first flight test last year, and we can guarantee its safety."

"You have also noticed that all the accidents that happened before were minor accidents and basically did not affect the operation of the spacecraft, so show your spirit and courage as elites..."

And not just encouragement, but also threats.

Threatening three people with the size of the Freedom Federation, even if these three people are astronauts on the moon, is also trivial.

And they said they were astronauts who landed on the moon, but they haven't landed on the moon yet. If they dare to be disobedient, they will be deprived of their qualifications to land on the moon!
There are even more serious consequences.

And the three astronauts also know that it is not easy for them and others to reach this step. If they lose the qualification to land on the moon, they will really die unjustly.

Not to mention the more serious consequences.

So whether it is recording video or live broadcasting, it is very cooperative.

Anyway, it’s the shooting scene, and the netizens in front of the screen can’t smell it. They just need to keep smiling.

After all, this is the Federation's plan to return to the moon. It will be recorded in history and will be hyped. They definitely don't want to miss this opportunity.

Decades ago, who knew the astronauts on the Apollo 8 mission that manned the moon without carrying a lunar module?
Apollo 9 Earth orbit test mission astronauts with lunar module who knew?
Who knows the Apollo 10 mission astronauts who practiced the full moon landing process?
The lunar module of the No. 10 mission was separated from the spacecraft, and was only about 15 kilometers away from the lunar surface at the closest time. As long as one of the astronauts shivered, one of the astronauts could become the No. 1 moon landing in history.

But no, they were just rehearsing. The real landing mission was Mission 11, and the No. 1 lunar landing was Armstrong, who later became a household name.

Even these astronauts are not bad, after all, they have entered space, and even reached the orbit of the moon.

There are more astronauts who are just substitutes and have never even been to space, let alone to the moon.

For Marcos, Christina and Deniz, if the mission goes well, they will become the Federation, no, they are the first group of people in the human world who have been to the moon twice.

Once around the moon!
Once on the moon!
They are making history!
After arriving at the moon and circling a few times, and entering the "Enterprise" lunar module for a power-on test, after all the checks were all right, they returned to the manned spacecraft again, and the lunar module landed towards the moon...
